"we saw our error rates (ie. the proportion of slow or timed out queries) drop by up to 400%."

Should that be 80%?

Edited to add: Apparently it should be 75%, per comments elsewhere.

Thanks, the 400% number is wrong. It was a last minute edit.. I should learn not to do that. I have updated the post to say that the error rates have dropped by 1/4th.

Yikes. I meant that they dropped TO 1/4th the original.
